The global support came on the heels of Osaka’s withdrawal from the French Open amid mental health concerns and to not “become a distraction.” She’ll be taking “some time away” from tennis until she feels comfortable resuming her career.
The two-time US Open winner skipped out on her post-match press conference due to her anxiety and as a result, she was fined by the tournament for $15,000 and the tennis authorities also threatened to take further action if she continued not to speak with reporters.
“Hey everyone, this isn’t a situation I ever imagined or intended when I posted a few days ago,” the 23-year-old wrote in a lengthy message to social media. “I think now the best thing for the tournament, the other players and my well-being is that I withdraw so that everyone can get back to focusing on the tennis going on in Paris.”
